LIFE IN THE NEXT CENTURY

It has been a great question that what could happen in the next century? How would you like to step in the future and see yourself in the dream house of tomorrow? Life in the home of tomorrow will be very different from today. It will reflect the advances of science.

Perhaps you will be living in a multi-storey building. Modular units will be there. You are going to fly up to the room you want to go with your anti-gravity belt. Your home will have a lot of buttons for you to choose. Each button has its’ use. For example you push a button and the TV comes out. A conveyor will bring your books and even you to any parts of your house. After a while, your phone rings and your boyfriend appear on your TV screen. He is visiting his uncle in Mars and will go to Pluto to get some ice. He will be talking to you from there with a very clear signal. Then you will answer, hoping that you look pretty and great enough to be seen in his screen. You push a button and the stereo brings soft music into the room. Push another button and the lights in your bedroom go off.

You go into the kitchen. Here you just push a few buttons and your electronic stove will cook your meal the way you want it. Your food will come from factories that grow new supplies of food in great vats of chemicals under artificial lights. It is kept fresh for months by atomic sterilization. You won’t need a refrigerator. Another push-button will bring your food to the table; another will pour your coffee. Ultrasonic waves will wash the dishes.
The morning newspaper will roll off facsimile machine right in your living room. You are going to wear paper cloths. They will be desirable and attractive and so cheap that you can throw them away after a few washings.

Studying will be a lot easier. You won’t even have to go to school .if you want to study algebra; you go to a library and borrow a tape on the subject. You turn the tape on, and a memory machine feeds all the information into your head while you are sleeping .you wake up in the morning refreshed. What’s more you will be able to understand algebra

You will have a lot of leisure time because you don’t have to work too hard. Machines will do the work for you will travel to the moon or visit as star in another galaxy. That will be no problem. Your space car will run on atomic energy and will take you there in a short time. In fact, atomic and solar energy will replace oil, gas, and petroleum as sources of energy.

Advances in science will produce new and better medicines. Today, scientists are about to find a cure for cancer, common cold, and most other diseases. Tomorrow these diseases won’t even exist. Your great, great grandmother will be living on the moon. She will be strong and healthy and won’t look a year older than 30. But she will be 300 years old by then. She will have a mechanical heart, an artificial leg, and artificial eyes, nose, and mouth. But no one will know the difference. For science will by this time have discovered how to make life longer and how to replace your worn-out body organs with mechanical parts. Are all these things possible or are these just fantastic, impossible dreams? Scientists are slowly but surely discovering and unraveling the mysteries of our universe. For now they have the tools that can extend our senses far beyond their natural power. Man will continue to make better devices with this devices, he will be able to unlock the secrets of the universe.
